Sources in Wikipedia
[edit]Hi Lukaskiciak, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. You have been adding sources to articles – as a general principle that's excellent, but please make sure that the sources you add are not simply re-publishing Wikipedia articles! In Minute and second of arc, you added references to dbpedia, alchetron, the enwiki part of en-academic.com, secret-bases.co.uk, liquisearch, and formulasearchengine – all of them are Wikipedia mirrors. In addition, other wikis such as bahasa.wiki and fandom.com are not reliable sources since they are user generated.
If you are looking for sources for some statement, and find the exact same text as in the Wikipedia article you are working on, you have to check carefully to make sure that the source isn't a mirror. Please be aware that there are even printed books that are just collections of Wikipedia articles, and those can't be used either.
I also wonder very much about the article "Statistical insight through H.I.S." which you added as a source in this edit. I don't have access to that article since it is only available in the print journal, but I'm really curious about what a single-page article about a health information system, published in 1976 (not 2013) in a Canadian journal about health administration, had to say about astronomical units of distance. What was the relevance? --bonadea contributions talk 16:03, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

[edit]
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
